I am offering this class because I love art making, and have an art studio in my home where I make art big and small, almost every day. My own unique style of art making incorporates mixed media, it's awesome. I love creating something beautiful that didn’t exist ever before! I have been making art since I was three-years old and grew up in a home environment where creativity was a way of life.
I’ve always been creative and interested in colors, textures, textiles, fashion design and traveling the globe appreciating diverse cultures. I am inspired by nature, the cosmos and color most of all! To me, making art, expressing myself creatively and teaching others to do that, are as natural as breathing. Kids of all ages love my inspired, relaxed and energetic style of teaching art. I have been teaching art in formal settings for over 15 years.
I look forward to having the opportunity to meet, create art together and share in our love of Taylor Swift!Reviews
